Allergies ruin Spring for many Canadians. While most people are excited to see grass, leaves and flowers, those of us with “Hay Fever” know they signal weeks of misery to come. Before you head to the drug store to stock up on allergy medication, you may want to try some natural alternatives.

When you have an allergic reaction, histamines are released and inflammation occurs. There are foods and natural supplements that offer antihistamine properties and reduce inflammation without the side effects of manufactured medication.

Note of Caution: It’s important to discuss the addition of natural supplements with your doctor to avoid interactions or contraindications.

Pycnogenol is a pine bark extract used to treat congestion, wheezing and coughing. It can reduce bronchial spasms and inflammation of the airway.

Eating local, unpasteurized honey throughout the year can help build a tolerance to local pollen allergens.

These natural remedies for Spring allergies could eliminate symptoms, or at least boost the effectiveness of drug store remedies. You may find yourself picking flowers this Spring instead of running from them!
